Project description:The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. This study's aim was to identify and characterize the top 100 COVID-19-related scientific publications, which had received the highest Altmetric Attention Scores (AASs). Hence, we searched Altmetric Explorer using search terms such as "COVID" or "COVID-19" or "Coronavirus" or "SARS-CoV-2" or "nCoV" and then selected the top 100 articles with the highest AASs. For each article identified, we extracted the following information: the overall AAS, publishing journal, journal impact factor (IF), date of publication, language, country of origin, document type, main topic, and accessibility. The top 100 articles most frequently were published in journals with high (>10.0) IF (n = 67), were published between March and July 2020 (n = 67), were written in English (n = 100), originated in the United States (n = 45), were original articles (n = 59), dealt with treatment and clinical manifestations (n = 33), and had open access (n = 98). Our study provides important information pertaining to the dissemination of scientific knowledge about COVID-19 in online media.

Project description:Altmetrics is a web-based measurement method that assesses the online dissemination and interactions of an article. We performed an altmetric analysis of 500 papers with the highest altmetric attention score (AAS) published in anesthesiology-related journals. Journals were identified from the Web of Science (WoS) Master Journal List by Clarivate using the category "Anesthesiology." The altmetric data were obtained from the Altmetric Explorer database. The first 500 publications with the highest AAS scores among these journals were identified and analyzed. Using Spearman correlation, no correlation was observed between the AAS and either WoS or Google Scholar citations (R = 0.188, P < .001 and R = 0.161, P < .001, respectively). There was a weak correlation between blog mentions and both WoS citations and Google Scholar citations (R = 0.263, P < .001 and (R = 0.241, P < .001). A very strong correlation was observed between the number of Mendeley readers and both WoS and Google Scholar citations (R = 0.889, P < .001 and R = 0.905, P < .001). A significant difference in AAS and WoS citations was observed based on publication topic (P = .036 and P = .005, respectively), with algology being the most common topic (n = 206, 41.2%). Although AAS did not significantly affect traditional scientific citations, the analysis of subgroup correlations revealed notable differences. Our results suggest that traditional scientific citations (WoS and Google Scholar citations) are strongly influenced by the number of Mendeley readers. Further research is needed to understand these dynamics in academic discourse.

Project description:BackgroundNetwork pharmacology (NP) has become an increasingly important focus in the drug research field over the past decade. However, no study to date has mapped the current status of NP. Therefore, we performed a bibliometric study to evaluate the top 100 cited papers on NP.MethodsWe searched the Web of Science Core Collection from its inception to February 25, 2019, using the terms "network pharmacology" and "systems pharmacology." Key data, including title, publication year, number of citations, authors, countries/regions, organizations, and journals, were retrieved and analyzed using Excel 2016 and VOSviewer 1.6.10.ResultsThe total number of citations for the 100 cited papers ranged from 21 to 1,238, published in 53 journals, from 2005 to 2017. The top three journals with the most publications on NP were Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (n = 8, IF2017 = 6.544), Journal of Ethnopharmacology (n = 8, IF2017 = 3.115), and PLoS One (n = 7, IF2017 = 2.766). Most published articles were from the USA (n = 41) and China (n = 35). The most active author was Wang Yonghua from the Northwest A&F University, and of the 100 publications, 14 listing his name. The most frequently used substantive terms included "drug discovery," "traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)," "in-vitro," "cancer," and "cardiovascular disease." Conclusions. The USA and China made the greatest contribution to NP research. The current NP research mainly focused on NP methods (including experimental validation) and using them to explore the molecular mechanisms of TCM for some critical diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Furthermore, we believe some guidelines should be developed to regulate NP studies.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the 100 top-cited articles on dentin adhesives utilizing comprehensive bibliometric and altmetric analyses.Materials and methodsThe Institute of Scientific Information Web of Knowledge database was used to compile the top-cited articles published from 1945 through February 12, 2023. Citation counts were manually retrieved for each article from Scopus, Google Scholar, Dimensions, and Altmetric. The articles were analyzed in terms of their number of citations, year, journal name, author (name, institution, and country), and type and specific field of study. We used descriptive statistics to summarize the results.ResultsThe analysis revealed that the top 100 cited articles originated from 18 English-language journals and collectively accumulated a remarkable 34526 citations. The article with the highest number of citations garnered 1288 references. Among authors, Van Meerbeek B. stood out with nine articles and 4650 citations, followed by Pashley D.H. with six articles and 2769 citations. Japan was the leading contributor by country, while the Catholic University of Leuven led in terms of institutions with 20 articles.ConclusionAccording to this study, basic research and review articles garnered the most citations, respectively. The citation analysis revealed different trends for researchers, the first being that researchers have focused on basic fields such as the ultramorphology of dentin and adhesive interfaces, followed by bond strength to dentin. Two studies on clinical experiences suggested that studies with high-level evidence, such as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or randomized controlled clinical trials, are required.Clinical relevanceIt is identified that more studies with high-level evidence-based research are needed in the field of dental adhesives.

Project description:BackgroundThe number of times a publication is cited in scientific research papers is often considered to estimate its contribution to biomedical literature. Although extensive research has been conducted on panic disorder over time, attempts at a citation analysis have yet to be made to the best of our knowledge.AimThe aim of this study was to understand the trends of research on panic disorder from the top 100 most-cited publications worldwide.Materials and methodsA citation analysis of the top 100 panic disorder publications was conducted, using Harzing's Publish or Perish to identify articles from Google Scholar. The study analyzed citation patterns, authorship, publication types, and themes. Exclusions comprised non-scientific materials. No ethics approval was needed as it involved published data, not human subjects.ResultsPublications with more than 500 citations were 11, and those with more than 400 citations, known as citation classics, were 27. Fifty-nine publications were funded, of which 14 (23.8%) were clinical trials and 24 (40.7%) were observational studies. The maximum number of articles was published between 1990 and 1999 (n = 45), followed by 2000 and 2009 (n = 26). The h-index of the first author showed a significant positive correlation with the number of citations of the paper (Spearman's ρ = 0.480, P = 0.02). Among research papers, the maximum were observational studies (n = 44), followed by 19 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and eight non-randomized clinical trials. Additionally, among RCTs (n = 19), 17 were focused on the management theme.ConclusionThis bibliometric analysis is an invaluable resource for scholars and students who might be interested in learning about the developments and patterns in the field of panic disorder research.

Project description:BackgroundIn the field of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, different approaches were applied to provide information regarding disease activity, comorbidities, epidemiological reports and risk factors. However, no previous studies had thoroughly analyzed the research trend in the field, and the bibliometric analysis focusing on pemphigoid diseases was available. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the current research trend in the field.MethodsA search has been conducted for the Web of Science database based on various subcategories of pemphigoid diseases. Detailed information including articles' publication types, Author information, citation, and publication information was attained for further analysis.ResultsWithin the 6,995 studies, the top 100 most-cited articles were extracted for analysis. Among the top 100 studies, 70% of the studies focused on bullous pemphigoid. More than 60% of the top 100 studies were studies with original data. Furthermore, 30% of the studies were guidelines and narrative reviews. For the issues primarily focused on, most of the high-impact studies described the molecular mechanism of pemphigoid diseases (26%), managements (19%), risk factors of pemphigoid diseases (17%). Additionally, some other studies provided general review or discussed about the issue of epidemiology, diagnosis/definition, comorbidities and clinical characteristics of pemphigoid diseases.ConclusionThis comprehensive bibliographic study of pemphigoid diseases provided an overview of current research focuses in the field. Topics such as disease management, molecular mechanism of pathogenesis, and drug-inducing pemphigoid diseases were highly mentioned in the most-cited studies. For researchers and clinicians, the researching trend and study focus in the top-100 cited studies could serve as a potential reference for future investigation and patient management.

Project description:ObjectiveConcerns have been raised that the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted research productivity to the disadvantage of women in academia, particularly in early career stages. In this study, we aimed to assess the pandemic's effect on women's COVID-19-related publishing over the first year of the pandemic.Methods and resultsWe compared the gender distribution of first authorships for 42 898 publications on COVID-19 from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2021 to 483 232 publications appearing in the same journals during the same period the year prior. We found that the gender gap-the percentage of articles on which men versus women were first authors-widened by 14 percentage points during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite many pertinent research fields showing near equal proportions of men and women first authors publishing in the same fields before the pandemic. Longitudinal analyses revealed that the significant initial expansions of the gender gap began to trend backwards to expected values over time in many fields. As women may have been differentially affected depending on their geography, we also assessed the gender distribution of first authorships grouped by countries and geographical areas. While we observed a significant reduction of the shares of women first authors in almost all countries, longitudinal analyses confirmed a resolving trend over time.ConclusionThe reduction in women's COVID-19-related research output appears particularly concerning as many disciplines informing the response to the pandemic had near equal gender shares of first authorship in the year prior to the pandemic. The acute productivity drain with the onset of the pandemic magnifies deep-rooted obstacles on the way to gender equity in scientific contribution.
